No wonder Thcy Arc startled.

In country where creased cartridge
shook an empire it Is easy TO see that the
invention of oleomargarine and its COM
pounds may rock the foundations of tho
state. According to The Times telegram
from Calcutta, panic has seized upon
the Bengalese on account of n discovery
that ghee, the clarified butter which
they eat themselves, and which they offer
10 their gods, is being adulterated with
lat. The Mohammedans fear that their
ghoe may be larded; the TIindus are
equally afraid that their ghee is mixed
with the fat Of oxen or of sheep. To eat
such fat is in their eyes n deadly sin. to
offer it To their gods an infamous sacri-
lege. Hence Legislation I'm hot haste
against impure ghee, and suspension of
all standing orders in order to hurry the
bill through all its stages without DELAY.
Who can say how many souls might be
lost forever If OleomRrgarine were once
to be introduced among the natives of
India? The Yankee buttermakers have
already much to answer for. Their oleo-
margarine, when treated with 3O>per
cent. OF butter, is indistinguishable from
the unauthorized product of the dairy.
They are running the buttermakers of
Cork, and now they are enda ngering the
peace OF our Indian empire What a fer
tile field of speculation is opened up by
this incidental illustration of the politi-
cal, social, and religious effects of n sim
pie invention in the art Of manipulatinp
fat!-Pall Mall Gazette.

Want to Become Dotectives.

The Pnkertons have applications from
hundreds Of women who want to become
detectives. There are sharp rascals in
nearly all the large cities who are max
ing money out of the young men md
young women who, by reading sensa-
uonal stories about detectives, have been
imbued with the idea they would like TO
become detectives. These rascals omen
what they call schools and bureaus for
training in detective work. They agree
for few dollars to put greenhorns at
work in the detective field. The average
greenhorn from the country believes that
places like New York, Chicago, Cincin-
natl and st. Louis are vast dens OF crime
nlled mp with robbers, burglars, cut
throRts, footpads and villains of every
description, They nre filed with great
desire to get TO the city to help unearth
and run down these criminals. The slv
bait thrown out by the bogus detect 70
bureaus induce them TO invest their
money and lose IT, However, they get a
little experience out of it and possibly as
cheap as they could get It any other way.

LIFE AT THE HAGUE.
An Aristoeratio City in HoIIand-Its
Peculiar Features.


The Hague, called by the natives
S'Gravenhage, can hardly be regarded rs
Characteristic Dutch city either in IN
old or In q recent sense. 10 is n CITY of
aristocracy, OF the wealthy middle class,
and not of eminence. Where its archi-
lecture is national &c lacks something OF
the national character, and where ID Is
really modern or cosmopolitan IL Is want
ing In elegance. Its streets are narrow
and crooked for the most part. It's open
places, which are sometimes set with
trees, occasionally laid ont with shrub
berry and flower beds I'm the Dutch fash
ion, but oftener paved with brick set up
on edge and surrounded by old and un-
attractive buildings, which partly atone
by their nu er and spaciousness for
their lack OF more pleasing qualities.
There Is an air of sOlemnity about the
place more marked since the shortening
Of the days and the first premonitions of
autumn. The grass keeps its intense
greenness, but the trees begin 10 show an
ominous yellOwness OF leaf The skies
are often leaden. The sun is seen rarely,
and never in the plenitude OF its splcn-
dor, and there is little in the life OF the
place TO lend an artificial radiance TO the
universal gloom. There are few noisy
vehicles TO waken discordant echoes
There arc street cars OF the American
pattern winding their sinuous way
through the tOrtuous streets, giving n
little movement and making distant
netghborhoods more accessible. There
are few fashionable shops The others
are small, and their business is carried
on without noise or hustle The cafes
are neither numerous nor handsome. and
their patrons, whether they consume
coffee or beer, seldom indulge i'm hilarity.
The colors worn I'm Holland are gcner-
ally black, which BELTS the gravity OF tho
people and harmOnizes with the sky and
landscape, and the inhabitants of The
Hague have stronger prejudice even
than their compatriots OF other amphibi-
GUS districts against bright colors. What
would be the use OF putting on summer
apparel one day 10 take It. off and Law IL
away permanently in the clothespress
the next. They have, IL possible. a little
more than the average natural thinness
and severity Of feature, and they only
smile when something occurs that is in
disputably amusing. Cor. San
